The proposed works covered under the Highways Capital Improvement Projects Term Contract typically but not exhaustively include:

  • New kerbing and footway works.
  • Carriageway realignment, reconstruction, planing and surfacing works.

Site-specific details will be issued with the individual works packages.

The contract has no guaranteed quantities, works orders will fluctuate according to demand and available budget.

The contract does not form a monopoly arrangement. The Council can at any time choose to place orders for works or services covered by this contract with other suppliers of such works or services. Placing of orders for items outside the contract will be entirely at the discretion of the Council and its officers and the Council will not be bound to account for any such decisions to the contractor. The Council is not committed to any maximum or minimum expenditure through the Agreement, and does not commit to maintaining current, or any level of spending. Any indicated Agreement value is based on historic data and subject to fluctuation both through demand and budgetary variation, figures are provided for illustrative purposes only.

No undertaking is given as to the minimum or maximum volume of work and/or spends under this Contract.

  • Not divided into lots: This is a contract where works are called off when required. There is no formal programme of future requirements so unable to lot as specific needs are unknown. There is insufficient known work in each discipline to lot the contract.
  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 15 Oct 2029, 23:59 BST.
